DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX 3-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the three-tool combo kit if you want one battery platform that covers drilling, driving and cutting. Its brushless drill has more power (340 UWO vs 300), the impact driver adds fastening the single drill can't match, and the oscillating multi-tool handles flush cuts. The drill kit is the simpler pick if you only need a drill and want the lightest, smallest tool. The combo kit's higher rating comes from a much smaller sample, so treat it as a hint, not proof.

• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX drill/driver kit if you mainly drill and drive screws, want the lightest tool in hand, and don't need an impact driver or multi-tool.
• Choose the DeWalt three-tool combo kit if you want brushless tools, more drilling power, and an impact driver plus oscillating multi-tool on the same batteries.
